[hackthis_archive]

This time last year I was answering questions about myself. However. I am notoriously cagey and tend to be rather private so, we’re not going to do that again this year. Instead, if you want, I want you to tell me more about yourselves. Anything you want to tell me. It can be about your favorite colour or your favorite singer or your favorite kind of toothpaste. Tell me about your favorite book or your favorite kind of sneaker. Who was the first person you kissed? What’s your favorite city? If you were Supreme Dictator/Il Duce, who would you strand on a desert island? Do you think you’re kinky or is it vanilla all the way? What’s your favorite quote? What's your favorite comic? Who do you want to play poker with after you die? What the hell are we all doing here? Are you into DIY?

Tell me something. Enlighten me.

My first kiss was with a guy named Adam. He was half-asleep and we were watching a Chow Yun Fat movie.

I like to think I've raised my standards in the years since then.

[r1cepudding.livejournal.com]

You think yours was bad. Mine was in front of the very last Freddy movie (oh, we thought we were so grown up for sneaking in) and the guy's hair was so long it got in my mouth. Blech.

So they're awake now, right?

[babywitch.livejournal.com]

Mine was an Adam too! Must be something in the water ...

Hmm...

What don't you already know?

Uhhhhhh...


I'm intensely afraid of heights, and as a way of trying to overcome that, have done insanely stupid things, like jumping off a roof and fracturing both ankles. ;-)

SuperMel, huh? You know, skydiving is much more fun, and generally, you can control the landing better too.

The first person I kissed was Dustin Ellis, on a bike rack at Shopko.

Ah, I'm so white trash Midwestern. *g*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

What's a Shopko?

Chautauqua (http://www.ciweb.org). Best place ever. I found god there, while wading in this ravine at four o'clock in the afternoon; the sun was shining through the leaves and onto the water, and the bugs were glowing from it, and it was just the most beautiful moment of my entire life.

I want to lecture there, have book signings and readings there. I want to be married there. When I die, I want to be cremated and have my ashes spread out over the lake.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I feel that way about London.

This sounds absolutely amazing.

Who's the boy in the icon?

Well, I'm procrastinating and skipping my Classical Mythology lecture today, anyway, and I have a fun story, so!

The first time I got kissed was in 6th grade. I was in the play The Wizard of Oz at the art center in Chicago, and I'd been "dating" this boy named Mike for a couple weeks. He was playing the Tinman, I was playing the Scarecrow.

We were walking up the stairs to get into the wings, because I had to go on and sing one of my stupid little songs in like two minutes, and the stairs were all dark and cobwebby, and right when we got to the top, he just leaned over and kissed me.

I went totally nonverbal and froze up, because I couldn't fucking believe that just happened. The stage manager had to push me out onto the stage, and since Mike was playing the fucking Tinman, I went onstage with a ton of silver facepaint smeared all over my lips and chin instead of the yellow stuff that I was supposed to be wearing.

It's fun, because it's like Wizard of Oz slash, but it's not really.

So, that's something about me. Hee.

Dude, Classical Mythology is a good class! That's not the one to skip, save that for something like Econ or Statistics! Having said that though, the story was very cute. Did anybody bring up the make-up transferrance later?

Lack of a social life in high school forced me to build a 42 foot long working roller coaster in my backyard. (Amazingly, as a testament to my apparently hidden engineering skills, no one was ever hurt careening down the track.)

*dies*

Excellent. That so rocks.

[wyoming-knott.livejournal.com]

If you were Supreme Dictator/Il Duce, who would you strand on a desert island?

My second ex-husband. And his wife. Together.

Ha!

*snerk*

[happyminion.livejournal.com]

Okay, I do have a question back for you: What is DIY? Could you explain? Thanks!

Now I'm gonna be a surpreme dork and answer all these questions:

My favorite color: Blue

My favorite singer: Melissa Etheridge (rock), U2 (band) George Strait (country), Harry Connick Jr (easy listening)

My favorite kind of toothpaste: I really like Crest.

My favorite book: Stephen King's It. I love the magic of friendship and the power of belief, the Losers who save the world, and best of all, King gets it that clowns are evil, yo.

My favorite kind of sneaker: Nike. I was just raised on them, played sports in them, am still loyal to this day. They love and support my flat feet and weak ankles.

The first person I kissed: Cody. He was sixteen, I was thirteen, my daddy may have had his first heart attack when he realized we were a thing. Anyway, yeah. He tasted like Dr. Pepper, which I hate, but he kissed gooooood.

My favorite city: Baltimore. Followed closely by LA, believe it or not. Navigation friendly streets and things I like to do go a long way towards making me happy in a strange city.

Who Supreme Me/Il Deunce would strand on a desert island: You mean banish to one, right? Since I'm not stranding them with me? Okay, banishment would be...hmm. Jenny on The L Word. With Lana from Smallville. Because I can't think about stuff like that IRL, or the FBI will come after me. *g*

Am I kinky or is it vanilla all the way?: I look vanilla, but I've got some kinks. Biting, bondage, breath play, twincest.

My favorite quote: My own? The universe is right on schedule. Uh, by a famous person? "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." -Friedrich Nietzsche

Who I want to play poker with after I die: Dude, the Rat Pack!

What the hell we're all doing here: Learning. Umm, gazing into the abyss? Writing porn?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Okay, I do have a question back for you: What is DIY? Could you explain? Thanks!

DIY = Do It Yourself. Like, you know, like Changing Rooms or Trading Spaces or Home Improvement or whatever the newest thing is.

My favorite book: Stephen King's It. I love the magic of friendship and the power of belief, the Losers who save the world, and best of all, King gets it that clowns are evil, yo.

That Made-for-TV movie scarred me for life. I've never liked clowns and seeing approximately 30 seconds of that movie gave me nightmares.


He tasted like Dr. Pepper, which I hate, but he kissed gooooood.

Dude, Dr Pepper is your friend, don't hate on the pure sugar. Also, my inner Lex said that Clark tasted like Dr Pepper the first time they kissed, but since I've been very heavy in the Adam promotion I'm not listening. But he won't stop talking. He also said that Clark belched right beforehand, which, yes, very male, but also, ew.

[boniblithe.livejournal.com]

I just got a new toothbrush. It's blue. And shiny.

Also, Slodwick started it. I just helped spread the word.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Due credit has been given, and also new, blue shiny things are generally always of the good.

[soul_cake_duck]

i like to think i have good taste in music for someone my age (16). this would mainly be because i have 3 older sisters, and i went through my little phase of trying to be just like them. im quite glad i did. now i can appreciate pieces of music my classmates would think are utter crap. it makes me feel good.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Music is a very, very personal choice; I'm glad you've found a style that suits you.

[obsessedmuch.livejournal.com]

Your favorite colour: Pink. (shhh)
your favorite kind of toothpaste: Colgate whitening gel
your favorite book: "Wizard and Glass" - Stephen King
your favorite kind of sneaker: Addidas
who was the first person you kissed? My ex, sad enough. In a car after a Cheap Trick concert.
What’s your favorite city? Never been to New Orleans but I claim it as my favorite simply because I've always wanted to go.
Do you think you’re kinky or is it vanilla all the way? Kink. Of course. ;)
What the hell are we all doing here? Wasting time between new episodes.
Are you into DIY? I am, I'm rabid about DIY projects that I want to do and can't get the money together to begin. I watch far too many TLC shows than can be healthy for me and in a dream world, Vern Yip would arrive on my doorstep and tell me he wants to remodel my entire apartment free of charge.

Don't you feel happy you asked?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

What the hell are we all doing here? Wasting time between new episodes.

Oh, that was so profound of you. Word. Also, I'm not even that big on Trading Spaces, but Vern can redesign my crib any time. Have you been listening to Ryan's recent stuff by any chance?

[miella]

Someone once told me she liked my laugh because it's very free. I still consider it one of the nicest compliments I've ever received.

And my favorite color's blue. *g*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

That is an absolutely beautiful comment; you are totally right to hold on such a great memory.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

I feel like playing, but I'm not coming up with terribly fascinating things to tell you at the moment, so instead, I'll tell you what's on the mantel over the fireplace in my bedroom:

-a picture of Chinese paper dolls with a red-painted frame my mom gave me when I was two.
-Two huge pink ceramic candlesticks that are so hideous I love them.
-A King James Bible, a copy of the Talmud, the Viking Portable Carl Jung, Wicked by Gregory Maguire, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, Eichmann in Jerusalem by Hannah Arendt, and 9 other books.
-a clock sitting on top of one of the stacks of books.
-a framed picture of me and my best friends from college on graduation day.
-a silver box from Mexico that was a Christmas present
-a weird salmon-colored vase/jug thing that I didn't know where else to put.
-a Christmas ornament I forgot to put away.
-a 9" tall laughing buddha and dragon sculpture. Rub Buddha's belly for good luck.
-my Zippo.
-an empty beer bottle.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Dude, would it be weird of I just said that seems very you? Like in a totally good way though? Dude, I want a Buddha for my flat now!

[tigress35.livejournal.com]

Dreamworks showed animated porn at lunch today and I missed it. Apparently one or more of the animated shorts nominated for an Oscar is rather... porny.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You *missed* the porn. How do you MISS porn? Oh, I'm so disappointed in you. For shame.

[shellies.livejournal.com]

According to the pentagon we're all doomed in about 20 years anyway, so I suspect it would be remiss and hypocritical for me to tell you to STOP THAT NOW!

i like billy boyd. (you might have already known that one)

Nah, I never would've guessed that from your icon at all.

[g-martin-blank.livejournal.com]

OK, like a few others, I'll answer all of them:

Favorite Color: Blue. I know, everyone else likes it too, but there aren't many choices!
Favorite Singer: I can't give you one. So, Springsteen. Diane Schuur (girl's got a VOICE). Johnny Cash. Jim Croce. Bowie.
Favorite Bands: U2. Dire Straights. Kinks. AC/DC. ZZ Top.
Favorite Toothpaste: Colgate. Not the gel!

Favorite Sneaker: Reebok DMX III. Yeah. 'Cause my feet don't hurt!
First kiss: Lora
First kiss with intent: Jeanne
Favorite City? New York.
If I were Supreme Dictator, I would strand all of the people that are responsible for Reality TV on a desert island. Included in that bunch would be people who can cancel 'Jake 2.0' and yet leave 'The MULLETS' on the air.
Hmmm. I'm definitely not a vanilla guy. How bout 2 scoops: Coffee, and Rum Raisin?
Favorite Quote: "Frankly My Dear? I don't give a damn."
Comic: Superman.
Poker: George Burns. The man can deliver ANYTHING with a straight face. Should be interesting.
What are we doing? Wasting time.
Dude. DIY is my mantra! Fireplace mantel, electrical wiring, plumbing, PC hardware builds. Hardwood floors. I wanna try supercharging an engine, but THAT one I'll probably not touch til NEXT truck.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Favorite Quote: "Frankly My Dear? I don't give a damn."

Isn't that really just one of the best scripted lines ever?

Darling, how can you say that? Not that I don't love my slides/flip-flops, but trainers are, they're trainers! Puma! Chucks! New Balance!

I think you will have a wicked time living in Philly and I wish you all the luck with your move. Oh, and additional good wishes for the health of your friend's baby.

If you were Supreme Dictator/Il Duce, who would you strand on a desert island?

Myself, really. Obviously I'd make sure it was equipt with an airconditioned shack, internet, Tivo, food & drink, and a couple of kittens before I arrived. But no people. Right now I'm feeling over-whelmed, boxed in, and very peopled out.
